Spare Tire

Most drivers won't know how to change a spare tire, but having one handy is a lifesaver. Most modern cars come with a spare tire located in the trunk or the back seat for specific models.

Jumper Cables

A dead battery is one of the most common issues one can face while owning a car. Having jumper cables that do not require an additional vehicle to perform the "jump" is crucial. Imagine making a late-night run to pick up diapers for your little one only to have a dead battery on an empty parking lot.

Tire Pressure Gauge

Tire Pressure Gauge, something most of us would not think. However, when your dashboard lets you know that one of the tires is low, you can gauge if the vehicle is drivable or if you need to request roadside assistance. To avoid the risk of the exploding tire and driving on an exposed rim.

First Aid Kit

This one is self-explanatory. Having a first aid kit can help you in any emergency anywhere from a minor cut to a severe burn.

Flashlight

If you have a smartphone, you most likely have a built-in flashlight. However, it fails in comparison to a real flashlight that can last hours without draining the battery.

Fire Extinguisher

Fire Extinguisher is not as obvious as a first aid kit, but equally important. You will be able to find plenty of options online for durable and highly rated fire extinguishers designed to stay in the car (even in our 100-degree heat).

Seat Belt Cutter & Window Breaker

Nobody starts a day thinking that they will get into an accident. However, they do happen, and with less traffic on the road, drivers are more careless, and speeding is at an all-time high. Having a seat belt cutter nearby can help you escape your vehicle should you sense the danger of staying in.

Safety Triangle Kit

Have a flat tire and waiting for roadside assistance, or maybe you can change it yourself. Alert other drivers on the road that you have an emergency and to slow down while passing your vehicle by having a safety triangle kit out on display.

Handy Items

Having paper towels, umbrella (we all know Florida weather changes in an instant), and change of clothes can be convenient while you are out on the road.
